“The Future depends on what you do today” These words were said by Mahatma Gandhi. For today’s youth to be tomorrow’s leaders, they need to have a good foundation. Both in terms of education and extra curricular activities. Youth of today should be exposed to their countries socio economic fibre and cultural richness so that when they becomes leaders they know what contribution they need to make for their individual self as well as country’s growth. The future of any country always lies in the hands of their youths and grooming the youth of today is what will help country build good leaders for tomorrow.
Leaders take responsibility for their team. They guide them, direct them and lead them to success.
What does it take to be a true leader? Is this generation of youth prepared to take the lead of a movement that stands for positive change? Some are doubtful, believing our children are too distracted with pop culture video games and reality shows to have a clue.
What do we have to do to cultivate or transform today’s youth into leaders who, for example, could discern the ideological difference between Democrats and Republicans? Most teenagers wouldn’t have a problem breaking down the pros and cons. What are the qualities of a leader? How can we instill those qualities in our youth? Here are a few:
- Courage: It takes courage to do the right thing when most of your peers do not.
- Humility: Sometimes your personal agenda may conflict with the needs of many. A true leader will make the selfless sacrifice.
- Wisdom: A leader makes wise decisions that may not be popular but are in the best interest of those around him or her.
If you are a young person, how aware are you of current local and world events? Are you prepared to assume a leadership role that brings about change?
By educating people in decision-making and arming them with effective methods, we will enable them to tackle their decisions in a more enlightened and empowered manner. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. Clearer thinking about decision-making will yield profound benefits for us all.
Young people have important responsibilities towards their country. It is important to learn from the past and to live with a hope for a better future, a future that is appropriate for our children and future generations.
The future generation has a duty to be honest, genuine, of good values and to work day and night for the betterment of the society and the country. Young people have a duty to use their skills, strength, creativity and imaginations to serve the country and the nation in the best possible manner. These are the young people who can make the difference, because they are the backbone of a nation and can build a bright future for society based on values and courageous behavior.
Country’s future depends upon how the youth is shaped. However, the young generation must be honest, loyal and must be accorded with moral values.
